Nodularity involving the thyroid gland refers to the presence of one or more nodules, which are abnormal growths or lumps within the thyroid tissue. These nodules can be solid or filled with fluid and may vary in size. While many thyroid nodules are benign and asymptomatic, some can be indicative of thyroid disorders or, in rare cases, thyroid cancer. Evaluation typically involves imaging studies and sometimes a biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules.
